I think the dr. is doing the right thing by you with Neurontin (gabapentin). it's known for its calming effects so would help with the withdrawals. I've taken it for yrs. for a different reason and at a much higher dose but I weigh more than twice as much as you do. they always start low and build up. Neurontin is an anti-seizure med which could be a bonus if that's a concern. if you feel you could use a little more help you could always call up the doc and enquire about it and then maybe ask about a taper off the gabapentin. it's known to be a very safe med and is widely prescribed for many things but can become habit forming over time. 3 days and no benzos and feeling better with the low dose I think you are doing great. stay in touch with the doc.
